At $2, all silver mines in the world would have to close. Even if oil was at $8 per barrel. and that means no more solar power, cell phones or other electronics. If you buy into $2 silver, then short AAPL.

$8 oil and $2 silver imply such massive economic devastation that either we have 90%+ unemployment and world wide social unrest (read riots and martial law everywhere),

Or the annihilation of civilization as we know it (plus tremendous world population reduction).

It also assumes that Ben and company will not be using their fingers to press buttons on the keyboard to create electronic impulses called dollars.

Long before $2 silver, Ben's helicopters will be all over the country - unless the intention is world population reduction - in which case the only thing of value will be ammunition, drinking water and food (and in that order).

Possible? Yes. But I pray that it won't be probable.
